Korean fashion is popping up in Melbourne at the moment. My recent visit to Zara Bourke street, showcased tonal grey pieces, navy, white and black shirts mixed with oversized boyfriend jeans and sneakers. Now don’t worry if your thinking, I just can’t pull this off, we’ll have I got some ideas to help you. Just come back to basics and think how you can mix my pieces to create a more street style.

I love mixing classic pieces like this seed heritage grey coat, it has the fit and shape of the recent Korean fashion trend, but u paired it with a classic white knit, sleek and straight not oversized, paired it with my old faithful top shop Jamie black jeans and finished the look with the ever so cult classic converse sneakers!

I love this look and it’s safe to say I will be rocking this again. I used some basic points of the recent street fashion trends but made it my own.

I wanted to share with you all this fresh fun fashion outfit, which I recently wore on a dinner date to Meat Mothers in Richmond, Melbourne.

The main focus of this outfit, were my Poke White heels from Lipstick shoes. I have wanted these shoes for a while and recently decided to invest in them. They are very versatile and can be worn with jeans, shorts, shirts and dresses.

This outfit is perfect for any sort of outing whether it be dinner, drinks or hanging with some girlfriends. The look is fun, fresh and classy, having the white against the light denim is clean and crisp. It has a feminine edge with a slight rocker vibe.

I paired my cute heels from Lipstick shoes, with my favourite light denim boyfriend jeans from Dotti, which I have been obsessed with and my gorgeous dressy white top from Zara. Each item I was wearing was not more than $79.95, this is proof that you can look great and on trend without spending large amounts of money.

My inspiration for this outfit, was my shirt from Tobi, an online store which has great, unique clothes at an affordable price.

When I walked into work on casual friday, which I commonly call fashion friday, my colleagues coined the term, farm chic and farm glamping! I do have to say, I definitely did feel like I had an edgy farm vibe!!

I paired my cute blue and grey flannel top, with my favourite light denim boyfriend jeans from Dotti, which just have the right amount of style rips and my new Pronto Black heels from Lipstick shoes. These shoes are a dupe for a similar pair that were in Zara, which unfortunately Melbourne Zara never got.

For makeup I went with warm neutral tones and used one of my favourite nude toned lipsticks from Mac called, Honey Love. My hair was straight but I added some volume with big sexyhair, play and spray and I really feel that my ombre (balayage/dip dye) hair was perfect with this look. Overall, I really loved this outfit, it was edgy but still feminine at the same time, as well as being on point with current styles that are popular at the moment.

It has been a very long time! I have so much to talk about, so here is another product review for you all.

I am so excited to be sharing with you all my comments on the Too Faced, Naked Eye palette. I was so excited when I got this palette and it has not disappointed me one bit.

Lets face it, every girl should own a neutral eye palette that suits her skin tone and eye colour, and ladies this is one that will definitely be worth it. I love using this palette for those busy days when I don’t have time for heavy blending, however don’t be fooled this palette can create some gorgeous dramatic looks worthy of any special occasion.

The colour range that you get in the Too Faced, Naked Eye palette is amazing. The eyeshadows are gorgeous, some of the shades are pigmented, they are all true to what they look like in the pan and are so wearable. You can use the shadows in the suggested ways that are shown in the palette, but I find that because the colours are so complementary I am able to try different colour combinations that have a stunning effect. Many of the shades can be used as a highlight under your brow bone and in the inner corners of your eyes. Basically, all the shades in this palette are so versatile and you can achieve any look using these neutral but dramatic shades. The eyeshadows go on easy, they have a great texture and can be easily applied. They blend very easily and because of this you can really achieve a flawless look.

The packaging is so cute, it is sturdy and the colours stay put. It also comes with three handy cards that give you complete eye looks using this palette.

My overall rating is 9.5/10 – I really enjoy using this palette, the colours, texture and pigments are amazing. It is my go to palette and I use it for almost every look.

I hope this inspires you to think more about neutral shades and to use them in your everyday or evening looks.

Using a makeup primer is the best way to make your makeup stay on for longer. Their aim is to prepare the skin for the makeup application, they pamper the skin and create a protective base for longer- lasting, natural looking foundation application and wear. Primers give the makeup something to grab onto and help your makeup last longer, because they create a smooth and perfect surface. A primer is something you put on as a barrier between your skin and foundation. the reason for using a primer is that it makes your skin smoother and you don’t need as much foundation to get a beautiful finish.

My favourite primers are:

Benefit thePOREfessional, it minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! Apply this silky, lightweight balm alone, under or over makeup.

Tip: I use thePOREfessional on my skin alone for days when I do not want to wear any makeup, it even outs my skin tone and makes my pores appear smaller.

Benefit dr.feelgood, this primer mattifies shine, the weightless balm leaves your skin feeling silky-soft. Fabulous for mid-day touch-ups. It can be worn alone, under or on top of makeup. This primer is great if you are prone to oiley skin.

Tip: Reapply with a sponge for instant mid-day mattification that’s better than blotting papers! Works best when pressed onto the skin in a patting motion.

Benefit dr feelgood primer

Mac Prep and Prime skin, is an ultra-fluid lotion formulated with special-effect silicones. It calms and soothes the skin, blots away excess oil, and evens out skin redness. It improves the laydown and application of foundation or powder.

It has been a while since I last posted my Fashion Friday outfit posts, the fashion has still been happening on Friday’s, but things have been crazy busy!

So after work last week, my husband and I went for a walk to an alley way off Bourke StreetMelbourne, to take this photo. We thought that this was the perfect location considering the outfit that I was wearing. After that we went straight home for pasta and for some much needed rest.

I decided to wear my leather pants from Portmans, I have had them for a while but needed some courage to wear them to work. The reception was great, people loved the look and it generated some office buzz on a Friday! I paired my leather pansts, with a gorgoues deep red knit from Zara and some amazing black suede ankle boots from Sportsgirl.

For my makeup, I used some new exciting products and opted for a statement lip. I wore my Mac Studio Fix fluid foundation, setting it with my Mac Studio Fix powder. I used Mac peaches blush and NARS albatross highlighter to emphasis the top of my checks and brows. I used Maybelline Lasting Drama gel eyeliner and created a winged cat eye and finished the look off my NARS lip pencil in Damned. I loved my makeup that day, it was simple but worked so well with the outfit and I felt dramatic without having a whole lot of makeup on.

The look was so fun and in trend, the different textures paired together with the colour combination worked so well. I loved wearing my leather pants with a knit jumper, pairing the two with ankle boots really gave it that edge.

Try pairing different textures and colours for this Autumn and Winter.
